Ladies and gentlemen!
I welcome you on the third Russia-Vietnam industrial exhibition “Expo-Russia Vietnam 2019”!
Trade and economic relations provide a solid foundation for a comprehensive strategic partnership between Russia and Vietnam. Their progressive strengthening is one of the priorities for the development of Russian-Vietnamese relations in the foreseeable future. The “Expo-Russia Vietnam 2019” exhibition will contribute to creating favorable conditions for increasing and diversifying our bilateral trade, as well as exploring options for new forms of cooperation in various fields.
Both scale and credibility of this exhibition are emphasized by the number of the Russian participants having registered at it. Their list includes companies from more than 70 companies and 20 regions, as well as a wide range of the areas proposed for cooperation - from mechanical engineering, power economy, and oil and gas industry to pharmaceuticals, education and science. This is a substantial confirmation of the bilateral cooperation extensive potentiality.
Symbolic it is that this year, “Expo-Russia Vietnam 2019” is held as part of both “mutually crossing” Years - the Year of Russia, in Vietnam, and the Year of Vietnam, in Russia. We believe the events provided for by the event arrangement program, including the inter-regional business forum, thematic round tables and the contacts exchange, to provide an additional momentum to in-depth practical cooperation, and facilitate the business links establishment, as well as the promotion of promising projects of mutual benefit.
I sincerely wish you success in your work and all the best.
